Just picked one up today cuz my new skis were super edgy on the rails...was wondering if there is any special method to detuning with gummi stone or do you just kinda go at it underfoot.

ALSO...

couldnt find in Sbar and im not a member of Build a Jib.....is PVC pipe a legit material to make a rail/jib

just rub it down the edge length that you want de edged, nice solid smooth rub too (no homo) make it one continuous motion

if you're really into rails a gummi stone won't make a big difference: i advice you to use something more radical; a file or simpeler and maybe even better: a rock ! :D
i even have detuned my railskis with an angle grinder :D

Gummi stone are better for detuning after sharpening to take the super sharp off, and to remove all the brims etc...
gummi stone detuning on non park skis usually happens around the tip and tail instead of underfoot...
